Default computer restarts when I use microphone

Hi!
My computer restarts if I try to record voice with the microphone.
Sound Hardware Test in Control Panel that also stopped and restarted
computer gave the following:
Your sound hardware cannot simultaneously play sounds and capture your
voice. You can hear other people while using voice chat but they
cannot hear you.
After Safe Install and trying to record voice I've got the following
message:
Another application is recording audio. Stop recording with this other
application and then try to record sound recorder again.
Task Manager showed that time the following processes (no application
was shown):taskmgr, explorer, svchost(twice), lsass,
services,winlogon, csrss, smss, system, system idle process.
I don't know any other application on my computer that can record
sound with microphone.
My computer is Pentium III, 1 GHz, 256Mb RAM, SoundBlaster Creative
Audio PCI(ES1371,1373). OS is Windows XP Professional.
I have changed three different sound card drivers with no good result.
My computer came to me from Dell with Windows Me and everything was
all right even with microphone. Then I did not use microphone for a
long time and upgraded to Windows XP Pro so driver was obviously
changed. I returned to the old driver too.
Any help will be appreciated.
